The Boathouse Cottage - Boothbay Harbor Gay Vacation Rental

Quaint Boothbay Harbor Gay Vacation Rental Cottage Close to Downtown

Come enjoy all that Boothbay has to offer at our Boothbay Harbor gay vacation rental, and spend your evenings on the rooftop deck or out on the dock, with unmatched views of the harbor.

Most guests of the Boathouse Cottage are repeat visitors who have grown to love this little slice of heaven situated conveniently close to town but far enough away to enjoy the tranquil breezes and watch the ships sailing by.

Whale, watching, Lobster, gay-friendly community, and quintessential Maine coastline is what makes this spot perfect for your couple getaway. This property is dog friendly as is most of the town, including several waterside restaurants. This rental offers access to a deep water dock for kayak launch or bring a small boat to hook up to the mooring.

Curacao Gay Bars: The Best & Only Gay Bar  – The Globetrotter Guys

Curacao Gay Bars - Gaze

Looking for Curacao Gay Bars

Is there a gay bar in Curaçao? Yes! There is just one at the moment.

However you will be pleased to know that Curaçao is one of the most popular Caribbean islands for gay travellers and whilst you won’t find a huge selection of gay bars in Curaçao (or clubs either) you are sure to have a great time wherever you go for the evening.

Note a lot of other sites mention other places to go, but at the time of writing this blog this is the only official one on the island. If you’re looking for Curacao gay bars, this is it.

The benefit of there being just one bar is that this is where the majority of LGBTQ locals and tourists alike will go if they are looking for a gay night out at the weekend – this is an island and not a big city after all!

Wat Pho, Thailand’s Temple of the Reclining Buddha – Keep Calm and Wander

Wat Pho, Thailand's Temple of the Reclining Buddha - Keep Calm and Wander

Wat Pho, also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is a must-see destination for travelers visiting Bangkok, Thailand. Located in the Phra Nakhon district, Wat Pho is one of the oldest and largest temples in the city and is home to a number of important cultural and historical artifacts.

The highlight of Wat Pho is the enormous reclining Buddha statue, which measures 46m long and 15m high. The statue, which is made of brick and covered in gold leaf, depicts the Buddha in the final moments of his life as he enters the state of Nirvana. The statue is an awe-inspiring sight, and visitors can walk along its length, taking in the intricate details of the statue’s form and design. Visitors can walk along and around the statue’s length, marveling at its size and beauty.

In addition to the reclining Buddha, Wat Pho is home to more than 1,000 other Buddha images, as well as a number of beautiful murals and decorative elements.

Riding the Bolivian Death Road – Keep Calm and Wander

by
Bolivian Death Road - Keep Calm and Wander

Biking the Bolivian Death Road is the ultimate thrill-seeker’s destination. Many people consider it the “World’s Most Dangerous Road.” I can proudly say that I survived it, despite being naive about riding a mountain bike. And, yes, I fell on my bike – a tough fall. Read more of that later in this post.

Why it’s called the Bolivian Death Road?

When it comes to adrenaline-pumping activities, a few things can compare to hurtling down a mountainside on a bicycle. And when it comes to mountain biking, few places can compare to Death Road in Bolivia.

Death Road, also known as “Camino de la Muerte,” is a 64-kilometer stretch of road that connects the city of La Paz with the town of Coroico. The road got its nickname from the fact that, prior to 2006, it was responsible for an average of 300 deaths per year. In recent years, however, a new, safer highway has been built parallel to Death Road, and as a result, the number of accidents has decreased dramatically. Then, the Death Road was relegated to history – until mountain bikers discovered it. Thus, when you’re in Bolivia, every hostel, hotel, and other accommodation is pimping the Bike Tour to Death Road.

Visiting Botero Museum in Bogota – Keep Calm and Wander

Visiting Botero Museum in Bogota - Keep Calm and Wander

The Botero Museum in Bogota is a must-see destination that will blow your mind away. It’s not your regular museum infested with European paintings but with the works of Colombia’s living artist – Fernando Botero. Even if you’ve never heard of his name, you have seen some of his works.

The first time I read about Fernando Botero was on a 30-minute train ride from Bratislava to Vienna. Someone left a magazine on a seat next to mine, and I found a feature of Botero’s paintings and sculptures. His works are definitely one of a kind, something you should see before your naked eyes.

Visiting the Botero Museum in Bogota

Botero is, perhaps, fascinated with oversized characters of humans, animals, and objects. You could describe them as fat, plump, or chubby. Or others might say, cute. And one thing I notice is that – all his subjects have flawless, smooth skin!

Visiting Gay Monserrate in Bogota, Colombia – Keep Calm and Wander

Visiting Gay Monserrate in Bogota, Colombia - Keep Calm and Wander

Visiting Gay Monserrate in Colombia

Visiting gay Monserrate in Bogota was the first on our itinerary when we happened to have a 16-hour layover in Colombia. We left the airport at 7:30 in the morning, and our tour guide was already waiting for us at the gate, and he whisked us off immediately to our first destination – 10,000 feet above sea level.

There are two ways to reach Monserrate: on foot or by taking a funicular or a cable car. We opted for the former because we wanted to see more in such a short time.

When we arrived at the ticket booth, we were among the few tourists going up. There was no line-up, so it was easy breezy for us. As we started our ascent, the views of the city slowly revealed through broken clouds. We were really hoping that the clouds would be gone by the time we arrived at the top of the hill.

Thailand Street Food – Gay Supertown Blog

Thailand Street Food - deposit photos

One of the first things you notice when you come to Thailand is the abundance of Street Food Vendors. Sadly, many visitors avoid them for fear of food poisoning.

Eating Thailand street food can be safe as long as proper precautions are taken. 

Tips for Choosing Thailand Street Food

Here are some tips for eating street food safely in Thailand:

• Choose vendors with lots of customers

• Avoid prepared meals, glazes, and sauces

• Look for food with the least number of ingredients

• Only eat what is being cooked at the time

• Avoid dishes that have been in sunlight and on the grill too long

• Buy fruits that come with a peel, such as dragon fruit, mangosteen, and pineapple

• Use common sense and follow your instincts

• Street food is probably safer than some enclosed restaurants as you can see them cooking it.
